World Agriculture, Minerals And Industries MCQ Question and Answer | Geography MCQ Question

Hot desert type of climate is known for the maximum diurnal range of temperature. Summer day time temperatures can exceed 40° C. However, at night the temperature can drop below 0° C. The climate is very dry with less than 250 mm of rainfall a year. Hot deserts have two distinct seasons: summer, when the temperature ranges between 35-40° C, and winter, when the temperature ranges between 20-30° C.

Of the following countries, the one which has predominantly the Mediterranean Climate is Italy. With its hot, dry summers and cool, wet winters, Italy experiences a mediterranean climate. Winters in Italy are cool and humid in the north and the mountainous zone.

The most ideal conditions for the chemical weathering are found in Hot and humid regions. Chemical Weathering: Most intense in warm, humid climate. Very little in cold, dry climates. Many minerals are not stable at earth surface conditions.

The 'Climate' is the average atmospheric conditions of an area over a considerable period of time. For proper conclusions, observations are needed for a minimum period of 31 years.

Longitude is not a determining fact of the climate. There is a relationship between latitude and temperature around the world, as temperatures are typically warmer approaching the Equator and cooler approaching the Poles. There are variations, though, as other factors such as elevation, ocean currents, and precipitation affect climate patterns.

Climate change resulting in the rise of temperature may benefit Russia and Northern Europe. Russia can derive more potential benefits from climate change. More access to energy resources that are currently difficult to extract because of hostile, freezing climes.

Mediterranean region has the following distinct characteristics: Warm and dry climate, Mild and wet winter and Evergreen oak trees.

Olive is not a product of the 'Monsoon Forests'. Monsoon forest, also called dry forest or tropical deciduous forest, open woodland in tropical areas that have a long dry season followed by a season of heavy rainfall. It is a product of Mediterranean forests.

The statements that are correct are: In China type climate, rainfall occurs throughout the year and Tropical highlands exhibit vertical zonation of different climates.

A weathering process in which layers of rocks peel off as expansion alternates with contraction, is known as Exfoliation. Rocks are generally poor conductors of heat. The effect of daily heating and cooling is confined to surface layers of the rock. The outer layer of rock is heated up and expands during the day while the inner layer of rock remains cool. The outer layers eventually peel off (like an onion skin), exposing the inner layers to the surface for further exfoliation.
